Plant Regeneration In Vitro: Environmental Cues and Sustainability provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of plant regeneration in vitro, with a particular focus on the environmental cues that influence this process. Authored and edited by leading experts, and addressing multiple methods, applications and prospects of in vitro regeneration, it explores the mechanisms and the role that environmental factors play in determining the success of in-vitro plant regeneration. Plant regeneration in vitro refers to the process of growing new plants from explants (parts of the plant) in a controlled environment. Widely used in agriculture, horticulture, and biotechnology for various purposes, including plant breeding, conservation of endangered species, and production of genetically modified crops, one of the main advantages of plant regeneration in vitro is that it provides a reliable and efficient method for producing large numbers of genetically uniform plants with desirable traits within short span irrespective of seasonal constraints. Plant Regeneration explores the environmental triggers that affect plant regeneration in vitro, such as temperature, light, humidity, nutrient availability and plant growth regulators. It fully describes the current state of the science, the latest in experimental work, and is designed to optimize application of current knowledge as well as to inspire new approaches to use.
